5. mushrooms - i use them with so many dishes..a great way to bulk up without adding loads of calories.

6. half fat mozzarella - allows me to have my cheese fix, and a little goes a long way when you break it into little pieces and sprinkle it over home made wholemeal pitta bread pizza just before you put them under the grill!

Low fat cheese, salad ingredients, mushrooms and eggs. Also today I discovered Quorn meat style slices, only 28cals per serving (about 2 slices I think) so if they are nice I'm laughing! Also nimble bread only 48cals a slice so again if I like it then it's a win as it's like half the cals of normal bread. I think I must be the last dieter on earth to discover the bread haha but I haven't actually tasted these last two yet, I will give them a whirl for tomorrow's lunch.

yeah, the chips are fab! they are 160 cals for 125g portion....and when i had first had them i thought 'i will probably have about 6 chips for that amount of calories'...but i was pleasantly gob smacked when i weighed them out..ha ha !!

good luck with your nimble bread.....i used to have it, and there is nothing wrong with the taste, i just found that it didnt fill me because the slices were smaller and it seems a bit light...

so i ended up eating more later on...but you might find that its fine for you, and if so it will save you lots of calories! xxx

i so my chips the same way as you sometimes....have you tried sprinkling them with a bit of soy sauce to help them go browner?.....i learned that from people in a slimming world class that i used to go to....

Oh yeah forgot about the hot chocs, I buy Alcafe one from Aldi, a box of sachets, I think they say 38 cals each. Perfect for a chocolate fix without breaking the calorie bank! The Options ones are great, you can get all different flavours. They have jars of Options in Aldi at the moment but they are 60 cals per cup so I left them, I am becoming super frugal on the calories lately. Make em stretch!
